MOBOTIX Network Camera with Thermographic
Image Module and Color/Black & White Sensor
Module
Based on the proven design of the M15 system platform, this
network camera provides an entirely new range of applica-
tions. Combined with the elaborate array of camera sensors
(PIR sensor, microphone, etc.) and the analytic capabilities of
the camera software (MxActivitySensor, video motion detec-
tion, event logic, etc.), it is now possible to detect, for example,
moving persons even in total darkness.
The different display options of the thermographic image sen-
sor (off-color/black & white) add to the existing possibilities for
analyzing and using the generated images.
In addition, the modular design of the M15 platform provides
even more flexibility: The left sensor module can be either a color
or a black & white image module. If only the thermographic image is
needed, the left sensor module can be plugged with the supplied dummy module.
